HaloTech Buddha Watch
Now this is fun. This 3D watch dial actually jumps to life. The dial is a modern version of the 19th century art form of lithophanes: carved porcelain sheets that, when lit, deliver astoundingly detailed images. When the pusher is activated, the dial springs to life in 3D, with an LED light and afterglow effect.

Pocket watches by Swiss timekeeper Tissot
Refinement that’s truly timeless (no pun intended). Add elegance to denim or a hint of classic flair to blazers and sweaters this winter with pocket watches. Swiss timekeeper Tissot proves that a love of a yesterday and passion for today are made for each other. The Pocket Men’s Brass Silver Mechanical Pocket Watches have Swiss Quartz movement, stainless steel PVD coating, and mineral crystal features.
You don’t need to be Bruce Lee to rock the Year of the Dragon Swatch watch. Decked in Chinese-style blue and white porcelain with a nifty dragon print, it’s the perfect wrist candy to synchronize to in 2012, the year of the dragon.
Watch tells the time according to the colour of the sky
I probably own enough watches already, but if I didn’t, I’d have to get a hold of this devastatingly cool watch by Japanese designer Ryohei Yoshiyuki which literally displays different colours of the sky every few seconds to reveal a close approximation of the time. By doing so, it transports us back to a time, metaphorically speaking at least, when people referred to the heavens to determine how far along in the day they had come. Genius. Read more

A perennial favourite, Autumn Whitehurst creates seamless vector pieces that shimmer with lustful beauty. We asked her how reflective her illustration aesthetic is of her lifestyle aesthetic: ‘My illustrations are much more streamlined than my lifestyle aesthetic. I grew up in a family of magpies and must be genetically predisposed to collecting things I don’t need. I’ll need to move into a bigger space soon or I’ll have to start throwing things out because the visual stimulation in my house is nearly suffocating. If you’ve seen the movie Max, and remember Max Earnst’s house, that would be quite close to my ideal. But I would love to remix that with the aesthetic of those old French colonial homes in Vietnam and then I’d be quite content. How it would be possible, I have no idea’. Read more
